Novel Sensors for Robotic Non-destructive Inspection in Confined Space
Department of Defense
Description
This grant opportunity supports the development of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) sensors for small and flexible robotic systems, aiming for inspections without disassembly. The sensors should use techniques like ultrasonic, electromagnetic, thermal, or visible light imaging.
Phase I: Focuses on determining the feasibility of developing such sensors, identifying promising methods, and describing integration approaches with robotic systems. The target platfor…
Nondestructive evaluation sensor(s) designed for integration with highly compliant and/or small-scale robotic systems to enable inspection without disassembly. Sensor(s) should enable nondestructive characterization using ultrasonic, electromagnetic, thermal, visible light imaging, or other nond…
